2.7 GENERAL SOURCE DESCRIPTION 2.7.1 Minimum Source Requirements

• There is no minimum grid resolution requirement but it should be (as fine as possible) supported by observations and rendered at the appropriate grid size.

• Mandatory attribution levels specified in section 5 are met.

2.7.2 Applicable Sources The source of individual values expressed in a climatology is of minimal relevance without detailed understanding of the processing methods and techniques used to build the climatology. For details of the method of data collection and processing techniques used refer to the producing authority. See also product data-set meta information in section 5.5.1.



3 GENERAL DATA DESCRIPTION

3.1 DATUMS Please refer to NATO STANAG 2211 - Geodetic Datums, Ellipsoids, Grids & Grid References, which establishes the NATO guidelines to the use of horizontal and vertical datums. 3.1.1 Horizontal Datum The horizontal datum for the AML IWC is the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84). 3.1.2 Vertical Datums

3.1.2.1 Height Datum N/A

3.1.2.2 Depth Datum The datum for all values expressed in oceanographic data is the sea surface. Depths are recorded as increasing in a positive direction from the sea surface to the sea bed.

3.2 UNITS The default units to be used in AML IWC are SI and scaled where necessary. • Position: latitude and longitude in decimal degrees • Profile depths : metres • Temporal period: see section 2.2. • Temperature profile: Degrees C • Sound speed profile: metres per second (m/sec) • Salinity profile: practical salinity units (psu) • Density profile: Kilograms per cubic metre (Kg/m3) • Occurrence frequency: percentage points (%) • Ocean current rate: metres per second (m/sec) • Ocean current vectors: metres per second (m/sec) • Ocean current direction: true bearing (degrees clockwise from true north) • Marine mammal probability of occurrence: percentage points (%) • Marine mammal predicted density: Number of animals per square Km • Marine mammal dive depth: metres • Marine mammal length: metres • Marine mammal voice source level: decibels (dB re 1µpa at 1m) • Marine mammal voice frequency: Hertz • Marine mammal swimming speed: metres per second (m/sec)

3.3 CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM The co-ordinate system used by AML IWC is Latitude and Longitude. These will be recorded as:



Positive values: Used for latitudes north of the equator and longitudes east of the Greenwich Meridian. Negative values: are used for latitudes south of the equator and longitudes west of the Greenwich Meridian.

3.4 PROJECTION AML IWC phase 1 is based upon geographical co-ordinates and is not projected.

3.5 LANGUAGE AND CHARACTER SETS 3.5.1 Language The exchange language used by AML IWC phase 1 is English. 3.5.2 Character Sets ISO 8859-1 supports English and most European languages. For those languages that it does not support ISO/IEC 10646 shall be used.

3.6 DATA QUALITY AML IWC phase 1 data quality information should be encoded at an appropriate level, as defined in sections 5.5.1, 5.5.2 & 5.5.4 and as specified by the exchange standard implementation. AML data quality information encompasses the following categories: • Quality of observed data • Quantity of observed data • Source of data • Completeness for the Product Specification • Climatology processing techniques • Extent of observed data in time and space Data quality information defined below for AML IWC phase 1 can be encoded as dataset metadata (see section 5.5.1) 3.6.1 Quality of observed data It is assumed that the observed data will have been subject to a degree of scrutiny appropriate to the quality standards of the originating authority. The originating authority should be consulted for details of the quality standards applied. 3.6.2 Source of data The source of the data should be quoted, refer to the originating authority for further details. 3.6.3 Completeness for the Product Specification AML products may be produced to fulfil operational requirements, and therefore, may not contain all available information.



All AML datasets must specify instances when: • All available data/information has been encoded. Missing data means that the

information is not available • Only specified/required data/information is encoded. 3.6.4 Extent of observed data in time and space It is assumed that the data distribution in time & space is sufficient to support the resolution of the IWC product supplied by the originating authority. The originating authority should be consulted for details of the standards and or techniques applied.

3.6.5 The following are not explicitly encoded due to the complexity of the subject but short comment may be made in the “supporting textual information” field

3.6.5.1 Quantity of observed data It is assumed that the quantity of observed data is sufficient to support the resolution of the IWC product supplied by the originating authority. The originating authority should be consulted for details of the data density standards applied. 3.6.5.2 Climatology processing techniques The originating authority should be consulted for full details of the standards and or techniques applied.

6 DATA CAPTURE GUIDELINES The ‘AML IWC phase 1 carrier format annex provides guidance on the conventions that are to be used to encode grid points, and associated attribution (parameters), using a relevant implementation standard. The content of the AML IWC phase 1 is at the discretion of the producing authority.

6.1 CONTINUITY Gridded datasets consisting of multiple digital source files should aim to be contiguous for consistency of display. To avoid duplication, grid points on the eastern and northern boundaries of a selected area should not be included, in case an adjacent area is added later.



7 DATA PRESENTATION

7.1 SCOPE The way in which AML IWC phase 1 is displayed is dependent upon an individual customer’s requirement. How their systems are developed to display AML IWC phase 1 data will largely be governed by the: • Environment in which the data is to be viewed • Types of products that are to be displayed with the AML product This Product Specification is designed to support the production and supply of Integrated Water Column phase 1. It does not address data presentation.



8 PROVISION OF DATA

8.1 GENERAL 8.1.1 File Format (Encapsulation) The file format or encapsulation is exchange standard specific. 8.1.2 Auxiliary Information All media containing AML products will contain cataloguing information regarding the coverage of the products contained within it. A complete AML catalogue is planned for future development.

8.2 DISTRIBUTION MEDIA AML is available in the following format(s):

• CD-ROM • DVD

Other approved means of distribution will be promulgated in due course. While data must be available to users on standard media, other media/transmission means may be agreed directly between producers and recipients.

8.3 VOLUME NAMING AML volumes (defined as packages) may contain several datasets, each from a different product specification. The volume naming convention for AML ’Packages’ is not defined by AML Product Specifications.

8.4 FILE NAMING CD-ROM AML file naming conforms to ISO 9660, International Standards

Organisation, Information Processing - Volume and File Structure of CD-ROM for Information Interchange.

8.5 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE CD-ROM The directory structure conforms to ISO 9660, International Standards

Organisation, Information Processing - Volume and File Structure of CD-ROM for Information Interchange.

8.6 ERROR DETECTION Datasets will undergo file integrity checks that are dependent upon the exchange standard implemented.

8.7 COMPRESSION See appropria te implementation annex.

8.8 ENCRYPTION All AML products are unencrypted, irrespective of security classification.

8.9 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS N/A.



9 TESTING METHOD This product specification has been designed to achieve interoperability of AML data products and other digital data products. This is achieved by the separation of the data dictionary from the standard used to encode the data and by the use of internationally recognised standards for the transfer of the data. It is the responsibility of the data producer to ensure that AML data products fully conform to this Product Specification and to the chosen transfer standard.

APPENDIX B: GUILD ID DEFINITION Guild ID will take the following form with 13 digits:

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

Audiogram: This 2-digit number between 01 and 99 will identify the audiogram which should be applied to a given species. The Global EIA generic audiogram will be given the code 01 and will be applied to species for which there is no further information. All species will be allocated either 01, a guild specific -code or a species-specific code. A look-up table will be provided relating these codes to sources of information, and references where available. Dive function: This 3-digit number between 010 and 160 will identify the mathematical function used to describe the diving behaviour of a given species. The ERMC(S) Stage 2 generic dive function will be given the code 010. There will be 5 basic dive types assigned – U-shaped (Type1) V-shaped (Type 2), left-skewed (Type 3) and right-skewed (Type 4). The 3rd digit can take a value of 0 or 1 depending on whether a species carries out “bounce” dives of a particular type which are shallow dives following deep dives. Each species will be allocated a code determined by the combination of dive types it undertakes (Table 1). All species will be allocated 01, a guild specific code or a species-specific code. A look-up table will be provided with references where available. Table 1: Possible combinations of dive type that will be coded for within Guild ID, where the 3 digit (Y) is binary. Guild ID code Dive types XX01YXXXXXXXX Stage 2 generic XX02YXXXXXXXX U-shaped dive only (Type 1) XX03YXXXXXXXX V-shaped dive only (Type2) XX04YXXXXXXXX left-skewed (Type 3) XX05YXXXXXXXX right-skewed (Type 4) XX06YXXXXXXXX Type 1 & 2 XX07YXXXXXXXX Type 1 & 3 XX08YXXXXXXXX Type 1 & 4 XX09YXXXXXXXX Type 2 & 3 XX10YXXXXXXXX Type 2 & 4 XX11YXXXXXXXX Type 3 & 4 XX12YXXXXXXXX Type 1, 2 & 3 XX13YXXXXXXXX Type 1, 2 & 4 XX14YXXXXXXXX Type 1, 3 & 4 XX15YXXXXXXXX Type 2, 3 & 4 XX16YXXXXXXXX Type 1, 2, 3 & 4 Dose-Response: This 6-digit number will identify the forms of three relationships (i.e. 3 pairs of digits – digit 1 & 2 will code for PTS, digit 3 & 4 will code for TTS and digit 5 & 6 for Behaviour) relating the level of sound that an animal is exposed to and the probability of the three physiological/behavioural responses. Currently the code will be 010101 for all species as no species-specific information is available but this code structure allows for future updates. References for these functions will be provided in a look-up table. Movement in response to sound: This 2-digit number (range 01-99) will identify the way in which a species is expected to respond to sound exposure. E.g. 01 may define directed movement away from a sound source. A look-up table will be provided with references where available.
